Hello and Happy Monday! Happy 4th of July for my USA friends, I hope your holiday was great and filled with food, fun, family and fireworks!
Today begins a new challenge at the Inspiration Station Challenge Blog. The inspiration photo this round is:
This photo can be intrepreted so many ways...the Sea, the Beach, Rest and Relaxation, the Coast, Swimming...I could go on and on. For my design team project, I was lucky enough to get a new stamp set and it was perfect for my design team project. The photo inspired me to create this A2 sized card:
I was inspired by the sea and coastal areas...possibly a Tropical location. The image is from the new Gina K. Designs Time to Coast stamp set, which was part of the Time to Coast June 2021 Kit. This is a lovely set and perfect for any occasion, especially those hard to create masculine cards.
I watercolor washed a panel of Strathmore Watercolor card and after drying completely, I stamped the image and sentiment. I went in with a brown watercolor wash to color the rocks and die cut using a stitched rectangle die from Kat Scrappiness. Lastly, added a black mat and mounted the panel on foam for dimension.
Please join us this round at the Inspiration Station Challenge blog and enter your project inspired by the photo. We would love to see your project and we hope to inspire you with ours.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!

That is a very exotic and moody sky, or maybe not for you I’ve not seen a Florida sky so what do I know! Hahaha. Anything sea related appeals to me and this has so much with those wonderfully well coloured rocks in the foreground to the more ghostly lighthouse and clouds behind. You just need Captain Jack to sail into view. x
